A man arrested Monday on allegations of selling methamphetamine twice to an informant working with the Fifth Judicial Drug Task Force (DTF) was found to be carrying sizeable amounts of cocaine and marijuana, according to a DTF agent.

Hennon Pryor, 38, was issued a $100,000 bond by District Judge Don Bourne on Wednesday after the agent testified that during the last eight months, DTF and Arkansas State Police agents through the use of a confidential informant purchased through two transactions approximately 10 grams of methamphetamine from Pryor.

According to the agent’s testimony, agents attempting to locate Pryor Monday to arrest him were surveilling the parking lot in front of his apartment when they observed him walk behind their vehicle, at which time an officer exited the vehicle and identified himself, prompting Pryor to flee on foot through the parking lot.

After reaching a fence on the north side of the apartment complex, Pryor allegedly ran east while reaching into his wasteband and retrieving a silver and black firearm, which he tossed over the fence, according to the testimony.

Pryor was detained and arrested shortly after and the gun, a .40 caliber Smith and Wesson pistol with a magazine with 14 rounds, was recovered from a nearby yard.

Upon searching Pryor, agents allegedly found a bag in his front left pocket containing six separate bags of marijuana, weighing just under a quarter-pound, and two bags of cocaine, weighing a total of .8 grams.

Pryor, who was convicted of aggravated robbery in Pulaski County in 1991, faces charges of possession of marijuana with the intent to deliver, possession of cocaine with the intent to deliver, felon in possession of a firearm, simultaneous possession of a firearm, and two counts delivery of methamphetamine. He is scheduled to appear in Pope County Circuit Court on Jan. 7.
